Twelve-year-old Twig Fowler and her mother have a secret: Twig's older brother James has wings, thanks to a generations-old curse from witch Agnes Early. Against their mother's warnings, lonely Twig befriends Julia, one of Agnes's descendants; James falls in love with Julia's sister Agate. With a mystical but not-too-dark tone, Hoffman creates a witchy small-town New England setting populated with realistic characters.
